Parameters such as improvement in acne, reduction in hirsutism and weight loss, BMI, random sugar level and fasting insulin levels were recorded. Results: The mean pre- BMI was 27.6 and post BMI was 25.3. RBS was 116.4 and 112.7 and fasting insulin was 17.9 and 16.5 pre- operatively and post- operatively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Pre- operatively and post- operatively, regular menstrual cycle was seen in 55% and 78%, oligomenorrhea in 30% and in 17%, polymenorrhea in 9% and 4% and secondary amenorrhea in 6% and 1% respectively. Facial acne was seen in 92% and 54% and improved in 40%. Hirsutism was seen in 70% and 25% and improved in 44%. Ultrasound pelvis had PCO in 98% and 41% and improved in 2% and 59% respectively.
